Disney is different level cruising for the masses. When we went years ago, had no idea cruise had 800+ kids on board until the last day when they all piled onto the stage for presentation -- nothing like any other cruise experience (nor the cost either).
Cruising clearly not for everyone. We're looking to book the new Celebrity ship in April

Is everyone masking responsible in a setting where everyone is vaccinated? It’s certainly not irresponsible, but it seems superfluous more than responsible. More hygiene theater than anything else.

My guess is that all people >12yo were vaccinated, and kids <11yo were tested day of boarding? Were there kids <11yo allowed? If so, my guess is the masking was done for the sake of the <11yo folks. Not superfluous if that was the case.

Carnival had 27 positives. Of that 26 were crew members. Different cruise line, but it’s not just guests on a cruise. Silver lining, only 1 passenger.
I would be concerned if truly 100% as that would be another Provincetown level spread and needs investigation.

Not unexpected as crew quarters are extremely tight and sustained contact. Don't know if crew isn100% vaccinated or not.

In addition to the risk of a breakthrough infection with serious illness, there is the risk of a breakthrough infection permitting one to infect others. I am not interested in infecting others.
Vaccines do not work for everyone. Most people have good response and can fight off the virus. Some people have weak responses and can get sick and even die of COVID in spite of vaccination.
The safe way to behave in a pandemic is avoiding contact, masking, carefully avoiding crowds and indoor gatherings. This is the way to protect yourself, your kids and others. DisneyWorld will be there in the future.

There's a balance to be struck and the Bay Area is leading the way in how we can be America and safe at the same time while keeping most of our civil liberties quite intact.

Was there once (without kids) and that was enough disney experience to never go again. Honestly i don't understand why fellow physicians spend money there. The entire place is designed to extract money out of you. Yet it sucks. Long lines, crazy florida heat, very low quality food. This over the top in your face “entertainment” and color scheme. Once in Orlando you are bombarded by billboards and advertising as they try to convince you that their product is worth paying for (its not).
Come on guys/girls, the company has a successful brand and its the idea of the brand in our mind that keeps people going and wasting money there. The actual experience is garbage. The best places for our kids have been local amusement parks in Midwest/northeast.

I'm no Disney apologist, but my daughter can't meet her favorite princess and my son can't meet his buddy Goofy at the local amusement park. The rides for them are just gravy. I mentioned I've avoided going, but it's been a pretty magical place for my kids thus far, something they talk about year round.
